Description: Function to create a bar chart by passing an array with labels as the index and the value, and a filename for the image.

<?php
	function makeChart($info, $name)
	{		
		// store the keys in separate array for display as label
		$keys = array_keys($info);
		
		// Set the maximum
		$max = max($info);
		
		// Determine how many bars to create
		$n = count($info);

		// set up image 
		$height = $n*100+1;
		$width = 600;
		$barstart = 100;
		$barwidth = 580;
		$im = ImageCreate($width+1, $height+1);
		$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
		$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
		$blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,255);

		// Create initial image w/borders  
		ImageFilledRectangle($im, 0, 0, $width, $height,$white);
		ImageRectangle($im, 0, 0, $width,$height,$black);
		
		$horiz = 0;
		
		// for each value divide chart and draw bar
		for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++ )
		{
			// Print division line
			ImageLine($im, 0, $horiz, $width-1, $horiz, $black);
			
			//  get and print label
			$label = $keys[$i];
			ImageString($im, 4, 10, $horiz+5, $label, $blue);
			
			// print value
			ImageString($im, 30, 10, $horiz+75, $info[$keys[$i]], $black);
			
			// draw outline of entire bar 
			ImageRectangle($im, $barstart, $horiz+15, $barwidth,$horiz+75,$black);
			
			// Standardize the values.  Max will fill all of bar
			$perc = $info[$keys[$i]]/$max;
			$filled = ($barwidth-$barstart)*$perc;
			
			// Draw filled bar
			ImageFilledRectangle($im, $barstart, $horiz+15, $barstart+$filled,$horiz+75,$blue);
			
			// Move down to next area
			$horiz += 100;
		}
		
		// output image
		ImagePng ($im,$name);
  
		// clean up 
		ImageDestroy($im);
